Humidity, huddling & the hibernation energetics of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus)
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-18)
During winter, many mammals hibernate and lower their body temperature and metabolic rate (MR) in prolonged periods of torpor. Hibernators will use energetically expensive arousals (i.e., restore body temperature and MR) ...
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation using Satellite Images for Significantly Different Infrastructure Objects
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-03-28)
Deep learning has become one of the most efficient computer vision tools in recent years. The success and variety of deep learning semantic segmentation models inspired scientists in the remote sensing domain to apply them ...
Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-14)
Gene duplication is a key driver of genetic diversity and adaptation, allowing genomes to develop complexity and redundant sequences that evolve along different trajectories. In human evolution, gene duplication played an ...
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)
In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions
if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution,
and neural networks are known ...
